1.Ares is the son of Hera (goddess of marriage and childbirth) and Zeus (god of the sky) He was disliked by both of his parents. Ares was disliked by both parents because of how he approached war. 2. He was unpopular with both gods and humans. He wasn't invincible even against immortals. Ares was unpopular with the gods because they didn't like how he killed people. 3. Ares was the great Olympian god of war. He helped in the Trojan war, which was probably one of the biggest wars he helped in since he wasn't really liked, but in the Trojan war he didn't fight with the Greeks. 4. He was the father of the water dragon that was killed by Cadmus. The dragon's teeth were sown into the ground and fully grown Spartans sprung out of them. These Spartans were held to be the descendants of Ares. Cadmus then married Harmonia, the daughter of Ares and founded the city of Thebes. 5. Apart from war and bloodshed, Ares was reputed to love Aphrodite the best. She was married to Hephaistos though,they were caught in an embarrassing position and all of the Gods came down to watch. That didn't stop Ares from continuing his secret liasons with Aphrodite. 6.Alirrothios, son of Poseidon, was trying to rape Alkippe(Ares and Agraulos daughter) Ares caught him at it and slew him.
The vulture symbolized Ares because of its nature of being very violent.
7. He was the first Greek god to be tried in the hill of Aeropagus, the highest council of Ancient Greece. Ares was accused by the Greek god Poseidon for having murdered his son Alirrothios because Alirrothios attempted to rape Ares daughter, Alkippe
Aphrodite was Ares one lover that he truly loved.
8. Ares rather than Artemis is sometimes said to have been responsible for the death of Adonis(one of Aphrodites lovers) He either sent a boar or was a boar himself. 9. Ares was chained inside an urn for 13 months by the 2 giants Otus and Ephialtes. Ares remained inside that urn till Hermes came and rescued him, Artemis tricked Otus and Ephialtes into killing each other. 10. Ares was often accompanied by Eris, his sister(the goddess of Discord) and Hades(the god of the underworld) into war.
The main symbol of Ares was the spear. This was because he was the god of war and he loved war more than anything else.
The red glitter text was used for all the blood Ares caused in wars.
I choose the music to be how it is because it sounds like something bad is gonna happen like in movies almost.
I left the color of text black because besides red for blood nothing really symbolizes Ares.
